Forces Lab

Explore the following interactive forces lab. Remember forces are measured in Newtons (N) and forces act in pairs (Weight/gravity vs Support force and Thrust vs Friction). The net or resultant force is the amount and direction when one force is subtracted from its pair.

Magnetism and mapping magnetic fields
